a new install of the drivers generally requires a fresh OS install (under win, of course) because of all the crap strewn about the system on uninstall. With ATI, you once chance, and one chance only. Why does nonsense like this get modded "informative"?
Good work Inspector Clouseau! If you had bothered to read the article in the summary, you would have noticed this...
Full Disclosure: I work for Microsoft - read my previous blog post, Exactly how biased am I?.
You'd have a point if that was true. You only get a UAC prompt if you're making system-wide changes, or if you're trying to run software that requires elevated privileges.
When you do a search using the search box in the start menu, there's a 'Search the internet' link. Clicking it will launch your browser, and the browser will perform the search in whatever search engine the user has set as the browser's default.
Even better, when I installed Google Desktop on Vista, I quickly discovered that searching it automatically called up MSIE, even though Firefox was my default browser. Don't go blaming Microsoft on Google Desktop calling up IE! Feel free to set FF as your default browser and use Vista's start menu "Search the internet" feature; you'll find that Vista's search respects your default browser setting.
Sort of, yes. I've made the occasional inane comment since joining, and I've tweaked the noses of a few Mac and Linux users as well, so my karma's "terrible" and I start at -1 every time I make a post. Because of this, any decent posts I make fly under most people's radar.
With God's help, I believe that I can change and become a better poster.
Why is my operating system supposed to be using more RAM now than it was? That'll be Superfetch at work.
In fact, it's taking precious system memory away from games, and anything else that I want to do. In fact, it isn't. Vista releases whatever Superfetch has cached if something else (like one of your games) needs to use lots of RAM.
When you type "Services" into the search box in Vista's start menu, it highlights the shortcut to launch the services.msc app. Pressing return launches services.msc, and services.msc requires elevation because you can use it to start/stop/configure Windows services.
Given that you can't disable Vista's most people will opt for disabling Google's. Type "services" into the search bar on the start menu, hit the return key, click continue at the UAC prompt, find the service called "Windows Search", right-click>properties, change startup type to "Disabled".
The laptop I'm writing this on (Vista Home Basic) is currently running at almost 600MB used, with Firefox, Thunderbird and AVG running! That'll be Superfetch at work.
....found that it ran fine with the amount of RAM they had in their PC? How long have PC manufacturers been pumping out PCs with 1GB of RAM as an option?
And Saddam was refusing to let people in to inpect, which to any logical person would indicate someting wrong was going on. If Saddam was "refusing to let people in to inpect[sic]", then how could the US advise the UN inspectors to get out of Iraq a few days before the war started? They were there, and they found nothing: stop trying to revise history.
Even Microsoft products don't behave, driver support is abysmal even on brand new machines, those damn [Cancel] or [Allow] boxes come up so often they train people to ignore them. From my experience, most of the people complaining about UAC are users who are installing/running software that hasn't been updated for Vista. If a user's using updated software they should only get a UAC prompt on installation of software, or if they're accessing something that can make system-wide changes.
Go into control panel and double click 'Automatic updates', then select 'Turn off automatic updates'. Once you've done that you can manually update whenever you feel like it by opening Internet Explorer and selecting Tools>Windows Update.

Nowhere in the blog does Opera claim that it's the first browser to fully support CSS3.
They didn't buy it. Microsoft, and the University of Washington, developed it.

Problem solved.
